The red band trailer for the sequel released Tuesday features Thornton’s Willie cursing out children, brawling with other faux Santas, knocking back the booze, puking in an alley and launching a well-intentioned but ill-fated attempt to get Brett Kelly (“The Kid” from the original film) laid.

Whew — good thing Christmas only comes once a year.

“Bad Santa 2,” which also stars Kathy Bates, Tony Cox and Christina Hendricks, hit theaters November 23 — just in time to ruin your appetite for Thanksgiving.
